Caster will be coming pretty damn soon, probably with the next character.

Glad to meet another fan of OLS! I was sure all those references would fly over most people's heads. To be clear, TSP takes place in a sort've hybrid universe with a bunch of elements from everything. I think it's more of a Doom universe with OLS stuff bolted on, but we'll see as the mod and lore develop more.

I love you so much for catching on to this, more than words could ever describe. Definitely one of my biggest inspirations.

I agree with realism and Doom not combining extremely well. Reloading is a really tricky barrier that requires a monster set/gameplay modifications to make it work. It's very easy to screw up.

(repost because I forgot this badass picture)

Nope! Scroton had a deployable robots idea, I thought it'd be cool to have a character be a mechanic and be able to fix things up for other players.

The Space Pirate now has a public plan document:

Check out our ideas and such! Weapon and future character spoilers are included if you care about them, so be warned. Scroton and I are still working on it, but feedback and more ideas are always welcome!

Long story short, wrote a huge post, it was eaten. Sorry for the rambles, hope I made sense.

>>2086053
Unloved is one of my personal favorites.

>>2084167
Man that SPAS-12 is another one of mine. Maybe I should do a TSP patch or something for Winter's Fury later on?

>>2084148
Haha my bad man, yeah, like I said it's not my best edit. I think that's from around 2005, made in MSPaint. No worries, I'm not offended over your opinion (which I agree with lol)

>>2084140
I think it could've been done better, but that's just me being an artist lol. I like the concept of it, for sure! I might do another one for that fabled Works Vol. II release.

>>2083792
It was one of my first ones :(

But yeah, I kind of cringed when I saw it being used. I played through Winter's Fury with a weapon mod the first time so I never saw it until I did another run with it without one. I would've offered to make a better edit if I knew during development.

>>2081054
You betcha!

>>2081046
Yup, each character will have their own special maneuvers and movement traits to set them apart, aside from their unique starting weapons. His moves aren't set in stone so I don't want to explain them (plus I really don't want to tease the new update more than I have! Two months is a long time on the internet!)

>>2081035
I had a lot of fun with it! It wasn't really bad at all, I think it was always destined to be met with a mixed-to-terrible reception unfortunately.

Also, you can use your character's special (i.e. Mel's Mag Grapple, Push, and Sling) while using the sword as well!

>>2081025
Yes! TSP's sword will function like the current melee combos. Primary fire will do quick, one-handed attacks while alternate will do heavy, dual-handed attacks. Kind of trying to replicate Vergil's Yamato with it's Devil and Angel form mechanics from DmC.

ICD wasn't the first weapon mod, but I believe it was the first one that contained reloading, more weapons than your average Doom weapon set, etc. etc.

>>2080605
Eh, it's only a potential release date. Hey, it's not like I said January 28th or something crazy. We'll be fine. You'll be fine. Everything will be okay! Promise!

>>2080608
I really want to commit to regular releases. If TSP was the only thing I had going on creatively, I think we'd be like on v414 or some crazy shenanigans. But you know, real life and all that fun stuff. Sorry for the wait!

>>2080606
The attack you've seen is actually the altfire, the primary fire is a cool laser gun sort've thing. I'll show it off in that webm eventually.

>>2080593
At earliest, January 2015, at latest, 20XX.

Also I find it hilarious that the image I'm posting has me also skipping out on a January release date lol

>>2080572
I'll do some digging so I can learn to make .webms, if I get that jazz figured out I'll post one here with the curved version.

>>2080568
By default, it'll only do a certain amount of damage before the beam blasts off into space (or the ceiling, depending on where you're at). This is toggleable with CVARS, which can also set if you want the beam to be curved or just a straight line. The video was made with an older version of the beam with no cap and just made a straight line between enemies. I want to do a new video with the new beam but I want to get some actual graphics for the weapon itself first.

>>2080554
Actually the sword will be the universal chainsaw replacement, so both Mel and Vex can use the sword!

RULES OF NATURE

Hey guys, long time no see! Scroton and I are indeed working on that Space Pirate thing you might've heard of. I announced we were working on it still at the beginning of this month, but I'm not sure if any of you guys caught that. SO NO MORE INDEFINITE HIATUS YAY.

A little bit of an update shortlist for ya guys: New character (Vexler!), with his own melee style, a SWORD (Rules of Nature!), Revolvodeagle, new slot 7 weapon that you've probably seen being tested, a new shotgun variant which will launch the variable weapon system, and hopefully a new HUD as well! Plus fancy new art where applicable. Hopefully this will be out by the end of January at the latest. Woo.

>>1824550
It was the shotgun from the Doom 3 alpha, which all the weapons from that Doom 2.5 project are based on.

>>1821817
It's because they have no spikes except on their back.

>>1808821
I'll say mean things about him to everyone he knows.

>>1808825
lets melee. no items, fox only, final destination
